Slepyshev did not take part in any of the three matches of the new draw of the regular season of the Continental Hockey League (KHL).
“At the moment, Anton is preparing without contact. We are waiting for a medical opinion in the next day or two on his condition, on his injury, which has healed. I think this is a matter of several days. When we get the green light from the doctors, then we will see him in training with the main team and in matches,» Fedorov told reporters.

“Magnitogorsk deservedly won, the opponent showed fast hockey, scored on time and used almost all of our mistakes. Our movement and attitude leave much to be desired. While we are playing in waves: the first period is not bad, the second is bad, the third is better. But the team understands the psychological state it is in. We definitely have not forgotten how to play, but so far we do not show that we can do it. We don’t have a championship hangover, everyone in CSKA is sober. I am confident in the team, in character. We are not in perfect shape. I think we need to cleanse ourselves: in the psychological and physical senses,» Fedorov added.
